Bahrain Mirror: The Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Kristian Jensen said in a tweet on his personal Twitter account that Denmark raised the case of Zainab Al-Khawaja at the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Jensen retweeted Maryam Al-Khawaja's words who said that Denmark raised the issue of Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja as well as Zainab Al-Khawaja's arrest. Maryam Al-Khawaja also posted in the same tweet a video showing the Danish representative during the session at the council stating that "Denmark is mainly concerned about arbitrarily detained persons in Bahrain, including the Danish-Bahraini citizen Mr. Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja; a victim of torture who needs treatment and rehabilitation. We urge Bahrain to release all arbitrarily detained persons immediately."
